Mostly, I'm a dabbler. I like to try lots of things. For many years I worked as a graphic designer; working on brochures, advertising, magazine layout, logo design and fashion concept designs. But I've worn a myriad of other hats as well: housepainter, signpainter, muralist, illustrator, baker, switchboard operator, garden nursery worker, and I even used to help my Dad pump septic tanks when I was a kid.
After many years of staring at a computer screen, I was really itching to get my hands dirty again. I longed to do my own "stuff", so I picked up my pencil and started drawing again. Ahh... much, much better. I slowly worked my way away from the computer and back into creating with my hands. Nowadays I'm still doing drawings, but I'm also burning pyrography designs on various wood items, getting myself really muddy in ceramics, and I'm sure tomorrow I'll find more stuff to play with as well.
When I'm not in my studio I'm either scuba diving and exploring the undersea life of the island we live on, or maybe I'm out riding horses in the woods with my husband Omar.
